Aguillon. The press performance is Tuesday, January 23 at 7:30PM. Proof is a Catalyst Collaborative@MIT Production. An enigmatic woman, her brilliant father, and an unanticipated suitor. After the discovery of a groundbreaking proof, Catherine is confronted with the question of how much of her mathematician father’s brilliance did she inherit – and is that the only thing he passed on to her? Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, David Auburn’s Proof is a moving exploration of the nature of genius, women in mathematics, and father-daughter relationships. Proof plays at Central Square Theater, 450 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge from January 18 to February 18, 2018. Tickets may be purchased by calling 617.576.9278 x1, at the Central Square Theater box office, or online at CentralSquareTheater.org About David Auburn David Auburn (Playwright) is a Tony Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning American playwright, screenwriter, and director best known for his 2000 play Proof, which he also adapted for the screen, and for the screenplay for the film The Lake House. His play The Columnist opened on Broadway in 2012. David Auburn was born on November 30, 1969, in Chicago, Illinois, to Mark Auburn and Sandy K. Auburn. He grew up in Ohio and moved with his family to Arkansas in 1982, where his mother worked first for the East Arkansas Area Agency on Aging in Jonesboro (Craighead County) and then as the assistant deputy director of the Division of Aging and Adult Services for the Arkansas Department of Human Services in Little Rock (Pulaski County). His father was the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Arkansas State University (ASU) in Jonesboro and then Vice President for Planning and Management Support of the University of Arkansas System. In high school in Arkansas, he worked for local professional companies in such jobs as stage hand or assistant to the lighting designer. Auburn graduated in 1987 and attended the University of Chicago, where he wrote scripts for the performance group Off-Off Campus and began reviewing theater performances for the Maroon. Auburn received a BA in English literature in 1991. After graduation, Auburn won a fellowship with Amblin Entertainment for one year. He then moved to New York City and spent two years in Juilliard’s playwriting program, beginning in 1992, studying under the noted dramatists Marsha Norman and Christopher Durang. His first full-length MORE play, Skyscraper, ran off-Broadway in 1997. His short play “What Do You Believe about the Future?” appeared in Harper’s magazine and has since been adapted for the screen. In 2000, Auburn’s best-known play, Proof, was produced. It ran from October 24, 2000, to January 5, 2003. It won the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play, as well as the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Auburn has adapted it into a film, which was released in 2005. Following Proof, he wrote the screenplay for the movie The Lake House, released by Warner Bros. in 2006. In 2007, he made his directorial debut with The Girl in the Park, for which he also wrote the screenplay. He returned to Broadway in 2012 with The Columnist, starring John Lithgow and based on the life of Washington DC newspaper columnist Joseph Alsop. His play Lost Lake, starring John Hawkes and Tracie Thomas, opened at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York City in 2014. Auburn’s work often revolves around death and tragedy but with warmth, humor, and strong characterization. Proof tells the story of a young woman haunted by the ghost of her father, a brilliant mathematician. Skyscraper, Auburn’s first play, focused on a suicide but maintained comic elements as well. In an interview with Zachary Werner for Otium, Auburn said that “in any human situation there is the potential for humor and pathos, both. I like stories that surprise you with sudden shifts of mood or tone, so that as an audience member you never quite settle into complacency.” Auburn has been awarded the Helen Merrill Playwriting Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as a New York Critic’s Circle Award. He married Francis Rosenfeld in 1999 and resides in Manhattan. About Michelle M. Aguillon Michelle M. Aguillon (Director) has been a theater artist in the Boston area for 23 years.

  • Rabbit Hole.Indd
    Langham Court Theatre Home of the Victoria Theatre Guild & Dramatic School presents By David Lindsay-Abaire Directed by Sylvia Rhodes March 7 - 24, 2012 Director's Notes A well-written play is like a well -written book, and maybe, even more like a poem, in that there are no superfluous words. No editing is needed! Rabbit Hole is no exception. A Pulitzer Prize winner for drama, it deals succinctly, compassionately, honestly and even humorously with a situation which, unfortunately, all of us have to face. How does each of us deal with grief? Is there a right way? A more accept- able way? A more effective way? It is a depressing topic, but when tempered with humour, as in this play, it can provide us with the best kind of theatre: theatre that illuminates our lives.

  • Actors Theatre of Phoenix
    TITLE: Actors Theatre of Phoenix DATE RANGE: 1985-2015 CALL NUMBER: PP-MS 249 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 53 linear ft. (106 boxes) PROVENANCE: Donated by Renee Gerstman & Matthew Weiner COPYRIGHT: The Arizona Historical Society owns the copyright to this collection. RESTRICTIONS: This collection is unrestricted. CREDIT LINE: Actors Theatre of Phoenix, PP-MS 249, Arizona Historical Society-Papago Park PROCESSED BY: Aiyana Irwin, July 2015 HISTORICAL NOTE: Actors Theatre of Phoenix was established in 1985. At the time there was only one major theatre company in the Phoenix area and it very rarely hired local actors. It was for this reason that Carol McLeod, Judy Rollings, Glorianne Engle, and Gerald Burgess started the Actors Theatre of Phoenix Company. The Actors Theatre started out in a bank building in downtown Phoenix. It was a small space, with curtains separating the “stage” from the rest of the building. From the start, this company got rave reviews from both critics and audience members largely due to the inspired leadership of Judy Rollings, Jim Pinkerton and Matthew Weiner. During its thirty-year history, the company put on 151 productions. They ranged from knee-slapping comedies (Beehive produced twice by popular demand) to tear-jerking dramas (Baby Dance and Doubt). The company was known for taking risks and staging plays that other theatre companies would not. They also performed A Christmas Carol almost every year without fail, occasionally with slight variations. The Actors Theatre Company shared several guiding principles: public service, education and innovation. They believed that theater should be accessible to everyone regardless of ability to pay so they started the “priceless matinee.” At these shows people paid what they could or paid nothing at all to see The Actors Theatre understood the need to engage young people and put considerable effort into developing the student matinee.
